MASSOTHERAPY PROFESSIONAL BODYWORK
Massage causes physiological changes in your body through:
The relaxation response, which is involuntary, yet the predictable response of the nervous system to massage techniques and touch
Mechanical responses, which are physical effects that occur in the body when pressure is applied to the soft tissues
Tendinitis is most often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the affected area, or from a sudden more serious injury.
There are many activities that can cause tendinitis, including:
Gardening
Raking
Carpentry
Shoveling
Painting
Scrubbing
Tennis
Overuse doing massage
Golf
Skiing
Throwing and pitching
Incorrect posture at work or home or poor stretching or conditioning before exercise or playing sports also increases a person’s risk.
